Vinegar and baking soda is the perfect combo in getting rid of dirt between the tiles.
Moisten the tile joints with water, and use a toothbrush to apply baking soda over the putty.
Pour half a cup of vinegar into a spray bottle, and then spray the liquid over the baking soda. A foam will be formed that will clean thoroughly the tile joints. Let the solution act for 10-15 minutes, and then wipe the area with a clean and damp cloth.

Lemon juice
You can mix lemon juice with coarse salt until you get a paste. Rub the joints with this mixture with a toothbrush. Let it act for 10 minutes then clean it with a damp cloth.
Another method is to squeeze a few lemons and to put the lemon juice in a sprayer. Spray this solution all over the tiles and tile joints, because it will dissolve the dirt in 10 minutes. With a damp cloth wipe the tiles.

Coke
Pour this soda over the putty and let it act for about 10-15 minutes. If dirt persists, gently rub the joints with a toothbrush, and then wash the area with warm water.
